2009 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · SH09 WVO

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 23 April 2025 with 111,281 miles. This result follows a stable maintenance trend where the car has consistently met minimum standards over the last two years. While the history shows minor failures immediately preceding passes in both 2024 and 2025, the lack of recorded advisories suggests that defects were identified and rectified promptly before the re-tests. The mileage pattern is consistent with low-average usage for a seventeen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year. Between March 2023 at 98,099 miles and April 2024 at 104,292 miles, the car covered roughly 6,000 miles, followed by another 7,000 mile interval between the April 2024 and April 2025 tests. This steady accumulation suggests a regular use pattern rather than long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for preventing rubber seal degradation and brake corrosion often associated with inactivity. A physical inspection should focus on the components common to the Peugeot 308 of this era that do not always trigger an immediate MOT failure. Given the age, the buyer should check for wear on the front suspension bushes and wish arms, which are prone to fatigue at this mileage. The condition of the rear brake discs and the presence of corrosion on the exhaust system also warrant close scrutiny, as the record does not indicate any emerging structural rust or binding calipers in the recent tests.
